Hi Bill, having just looked at the members register I think that you are a club member. If correct, then if you click on the “Dashboard” tab above and then select “Members Register” you should be able to find Arnold’s email address. If I’m incorrect and you arent a member, let me know and I’ll pass your message on.

Hi Michael,

Apologies if you have already tried…. but if you put “Bendix” into the forum search engine, there is a post by PeterS30 from April 2020, which you might find useful.

My experience of a 2 Litre water system is similar to Mark’s ie around 2 gallons total capacity. I always use blue coloured antifreeze.
I asked another very experienced member for some advice on the toe in, he is currently on holiday and will reply on his return, but I have pasted his initial comments below.

“The water capacity is different for every car depending on whether a new radiator has been fitted.
It is easy to fill it then drain into a vessel and measure it. Then add 25% anti freeze and pour it back in.

The toe in is done with strings from the rear wheels. Get the wheels parallel then about 1 turn of the track rod toe in. Road trial then maybe a bit more”

I am not sure if you made a typo, but one of the recommended NGK plugs for the 2 litre which has worked for me for 20 plus years is an AB6…. I think that the B6 is a different plug ?

I fitted a UK100E Platinum Prestige in my 2 Litre High Chassis in 2010 and it still seems to be working fine (famous last words), although I do keep it connected to a CTEK charger when not in use.
I would suggest that you double check the dimensions etc (below) before purchasing.

Specifications
Voltage: 12v
CCA (SAE): 670
AH-20hr-rate:Â 70
Layout: 0
Terminals:Â T1
Hold Downs: B13
Dimensions: Length 278mm  Width 175mm  Height 175mm.
Platinum Battery 12v – 096E

Whilst they still appear to be for sale, I suspect you might also be able to buy an equivalent from suppliers such as Eurocarparts – I think (dont know for sure) that you would be looking for an 096 type but again you would need to check the dimensions/spec.

I have not heard of anyone doing this and from the lack of other responses, I suspect that you might be the first to try it….. although I suppose a good engraver would probably be best to provide an answer on the practicality.
I assume that you are aware that the club sell new ones, which is probably the path that most take. Maybe if you post a picture of one of your spinners, it might inspire some other comments.
